Abstract
Red currant (Ribes rubrum L.) is a berry crop promising for cultivation in Siberia. The purpose of the work was to study the elements of productivity and biochemical composition of fruits in 17 varieties of R. rubrum of various origins of the VNIISPK breeding. This article presents the results of the study of red currant varieties selected by VNIISPK in the Altai. Most varieties are highly resistant to gall aphids, with the exception of ‘Valentinovka’, ‘Orlovskaya Zvezda’ and ‘Orlovchanka’ - in some years, their damage was noted to a very weak degree. As sources of valuable biochemistry, the following varieties were identified: with a high content of soluble dry substances - Asya, Bayana, Vika, Dar Orla, Marmeladnitsa, Osipovskaya; sugar - Asya, Bayana, Roza; vitamin C - Asora, Asya, Protein, Vika, Marmeladnitsa, sugar-acid index - Asora, Orlovchanka, Roza. The varieties Asora, Asya, Bayana, Valentinovka, Vika, Dana, Dar Orla, Marmeladnitsa, Orlovskaya Zvezda, Orlovchanka, Osipovskaya, and Roza were identified according to the complex of economically useful traits (yield, large-fruited, biochemical composition, resistance to harmful organisms), which can be recommended for cultivation in the conditions of the Altai Ob region.

Red currant (Ribes rubrum L.) is a berry crop promising for cultivation in Siberia, the area occupied by it is much smaller than other berry crops
Red currant fruits are characterized by an optimal combination of vitamins, sugars, organic acids, pectin and nitrogenous matters, which determines the possibility of their wide use in medical and dietary nutrition, consumption in fresh and processed form [1-3]

Summary
Red currant (Ribes rubrum L.) is a berry crop promising for cultivation in Siberia, the area occupied by it is much smaller than other berry crops. Plants of R. rubrum in comparison with R. nigrum L. have a longer generative period and can bear fruit for up to 25 years with proper agricultural techniques. All these qualities characterize red currant as a berry crop, valuable for gardening [4-5]. Research on the introduction and selection of red currant in the last few decades has significantly intensified in Russia, the CIS countries and the world as a whole. There are more than 160 varieties of red currant in the world. The purpose of the work was to study the elements of productivity and biochemical composition of fruits in 17 varieties of R. rubrum of various origins of the VNIISPK breeding
